I am proposing a new open protocol. I am going to tentatively call it Magicbus. Recently on a job, the control electrician neglected to wire any of our sensors back to the panel. When my boss found out, he said, "How do they expect them to work, magic?" This is how great ideas are born.
Magicbus will be a little different than other protocols in that it will be combination of software and hardware. What would be the point of using Magicbus over a typical Ethernet or RS-485 connection? The idea here is to install Magicbus components in a system, and it will all work as intended.
Would it actually work over infrared? 802.11b? Bluetooth? What are the different formats variables would take? Who cares about technical mumbo-jumbo like that. Magicbus just goes with the flow; in fact, if you throw a stray BACnet or Lon component into the system, the Magicbus network just says "whatever", and automatically integrates it. Just don't abuse the privilege.
Anybody want to get in on the ground floor? I have a great idea for a theme song as well...
